I could write poetry about floating on Vicodin. Which is why I take it ONLY when prescribed and I need it (like when I wrenched my back two years ago), and I savor the very last pill in the bottle. A little less self control and I could easily become an addict, scamming and begging doctors for the stuff, so I’m very careful when it’s in the house.

Always careful. That’s why I’m only on these three and only take them at night (except for severe breakthrough pain).

It’s going to be at least a week before I’m back on track. Do I feel a bit better? Yes. It’s just that when you’ve been off meds for so long, everything tenses up and does bad things to parts of you that weren’t bent/broken/damaged. Once you take the pain meds, things start to relax and you hurt in a different way.
